DIR. Geo. H. Larson and VIM. B. Niece.
The first case tried was Asher Carroll
VS.. Moses Bonham. After the evidence
on the part of the plaintiff was all in,
the Chief Justice ruled that the suit
should have been brought in Chancery,
and the case was discontinued.
The next case was Alice +. Bum VS..
Holiron Hewitt. This was case Of re-
plevin, in which Hewitt, as Constable,
had levied on goods as the property of
Geo. W. Bum. Mrs. Bum put in her
claim to the property, and the verdict in
the case sustained her claim.
The case of Samuel B. Pegg VS.. Sam'l
r. Schenck was suit for libel, in which
it was claimed that Schenck had charged
Pegg with perjury. This case grew out
of transaction between the parties in
which there was difference of opinion

nation of General E. B. Grub for De-
partment Commander. Those who are
well acquainted with the General feel az.
sured that II elected be would make a
live Commander. Some of the Comrades
served under him while in the service.
In conversation with Adintant Van
Solver, who has been acquainted with the
General from boyhood up, and who
strongly favors his nom ination and elec.
ton, we learn that there is no moro liberal
hearted man to be found; that whatever
the General takes an interest in, he car.
ries through with his whole energy. As
Commander of the Grand Army be would
add to the already well-won fame OF the
Department and create an enthusiasm
which would reach from one end Of the
State to the other. His memorable words
at Yorktown, VIXEN in command of the
Provisional Battalion. as to who should
receive the trophy, are ringing in the
ears Of the boys yet, and all. both Grand
Army and National Guardsmen, would
want no better leader.

The trial of Jacob Funk, of this city,
upon second charge of keeping disor-

Kitchin, last Friday. G. A. Skilman and
L. II. Sergeant, Esqs., appeared for the
prosecution and M. L. Trimmer. Esq, for
the defence. A large number of witnesses
were examined, and some very damaging
evidence given. The case was given to
the jury about midnight and at A O'Clock
the next morning 1t gave verdict of
guilty. Justice Kitchin sentenced him to
thirty days in the county Jail and $50 zine
and-costs. This is righteous verdict
and 1t is to be regretted that the limit of
the law did not allow of heavier punish
ment for this defiant law breaker.

Whew! And what is the matter?
Is it an endorsement Of Cleveland or
an exemplifcation of the growing
idea that the money power and polit-
ical bosses must go? We are nclin-
ed to think that it is the latter. The
Providence Journal, one of the ablest
republican newspapers in New Eng
land, bolted the party nominations
and worked with a will against them,
for the reason, as it alleges, that
they were made by corrupt ring
dominated by money. Perhaps we
are at too great distance to Judge
correctly, but if the Journals premis-
es are correct the result should be
satisfactory to every friend of honest
and good government. There is, at
this day, no party exigencies that re-
quire a submission on the part of the
voter to the caucus-packing money
power. And, further, the voter is
beginning to have happy realiza-
ton of the fact. He is beginning to
feel, in his bones, that he is a power.
and that the people should rule; that
the bosses, whether of the Atkins OF
Gov. Smith stripe, must go, and al
their small fry followers, the Low
Martins and Levi Fullers, these little
fellows, these thin gentry whom yol
can take between your thumb anc
finger, and holding them up, see tn,
light of tallow dip through thei
soulless bodies and empty heads
must follow suit. The hand writing
is on the wall, and base attempts a
